Have Transformers dropped in quality?
>>11361841You forgot the 1 in front of your $25 therehttps://www.amazon.com/SIGNIM-Cardbot-Cop-Transformation-Robotbot/dp/B0DPGYYXKG?gQT=2
>>11361875You have to be patient. Pretty sure Heavy Iron is cheaper than CN/SK MSRP at $50
>>11361883The eyes in vehicle mode looks so dumb
>>11361887Apparently Agabyss is considering getting rid of them for the international release. Worst case scenario I'll just paint mine black.
>>11361471and how about now?

>>11361588https://shop.mattel.com/pages/about-mattel-brick-shopMight be a bit of a wild idea, but imagine Mattel buying the rights to Bionicle.

So does anyone have any experience buying Metal Cardbots?I've seen them on sale on AliExpress, but I have no idea if they're legit or not.
>>11361274>Hat and WhipIs that a transformers Indiana Jones?
I have blue cop and blue cop S.Very solid and hefty feeling toys I feel like a kid holding them. Transformation is fairly basic but it tabs together really solid in car mode. Articulation is basic and rage on some is limited to the blockyness but the joints are tight. Only QC issue is blue cops head likes to pop out but it's a simple ball joint I can probably tighten or thicken.
>>11361859How different are the two versions?
>>11361859They look as well build as cybertron transformers, where they were chunky and didn't have any open hollow limbs.
>>11361897Cybertron had hollow limbs all the time, take off the nostalgia goggles.

No fucking Castlevania figure! Why???

I've never seen a line fail as devastatingly from a couple of bad releases. The monster line was really good when you compare it to everything else hasbro made.>but the face isnt rightthe face is fine. hasbro never paints faces for stuff like spiderman unlimited and no one complained. the new red hulk doesnt even have the correct actors face and is sold out everywhere IRL.>the articulationMaximum series minus the neck articulation. by toys own metrics on domestic action figures of being a large scale figure with good ariculation this figure passes with flying colors. he has better articulation than the current red hulk. the airbrushing on the muscles is something anthonys customs had been whining about for years and when it happens its completely ignored. The accesories are good, and actually something the character uses unlike a random unmasked head or one time gag in the show.>but the other figures in the linethe only bad figure was Pumpkin Head because he had a standing problem.>but its too bigNone of the bandai shit scaled for 20 years. i dont want to hear about an inch difference. Frankly i prefered them being larger since it was a hulk scale figure for 30$ with entirely new sculpt.I just dont like seeing a genuine attempt from hasbro to produce a line of entirely new sculpts in a taller scale completely wreck a toyline.
>>11361716Seethe harder poorfag. Maybe your McDonald's toys can console you?
>>11361716Bro, Hasbro owns GI Joe Classified, which has better paint, sculpting, articulation and QC than Lightening Collection, yet you're sitting here, like a cum guzzling faggot, defending Lightening Collection which is an IP THEY OWN!
>>11361638>hasbro never paints faces for stuff like spiderman unlimited and no one complained. the new red hulk doesnt even have the correct actors face and is sold out everywhere IRL.I don't think using the extremely low standards of Marvelcucks is going to help your argument.That said, I think the Super7 one looks a million times better. The paint on the wings alone makes it almost worth it, but the sculpt just feels way more accurate. Shame it is made out of a plastic with the structural integrity of Pringles, and Brian is a virtue signalling faggot that I don't want to give money to.
>>11361721I said the more expensive figure looks better and you think that means I'm poor? The retard claim stays valid
>>11361727The only cum drinker here is you, possibly something you inherited from your mother, if you think this is in anyway a defense of the Lighting Collection

Usually I alternate between planes and cars but I kinda want to double up on planes this time around. I want to build this B-25 but its so big it wont fit in my spray booth in one piece, which will prove to be a problem when it comes to painting, unless I can paint it in segments and it doesn't need a bunch of putty work when assembled (LOL).
>>11360278Very nice result, I agree in the completed state the chipping doesn't seem as "overdone" as it did earlier when it was fresh. For the oil paint streaking, you might wanna play a bit with some browns more than greys when it comes to visibility on not quite as bright backgrounds, that's made a lot of difference for me
>>11361477shit wrong board sorry
>>11361377Yeah, the interior was called "podboi" (meaning "lining"), the exterior "nadboi" (meaning "cladding"). Tanks originally had the interior lining, later they got the extra exterior cladding. For some reason the T-80 only has the interior lining, whether it's a B turret or an U turret.
hello guys.Im building the titanic 1:400 and its my first real big set.everything is assembled, everything is painted but I just cant finish this set. every time I look at it I see small areas that I want to correct.wtf am I cursed??
Toy Fair editionDart Zone cooking as always
>>11358245It's because HASBRO milked it to fucking death with gimmicks instead of standardizing it's toy firearms to be modular and upgradeable.
>>11361468Nobody gave a shit about first party Nerf for the past few years anyways though, it's been all about dart zone and x shot and stuff
>>11361253>>11361467I made a lot of the threads a few years ago, personally I just got a bit bored with it. I was always more into the toy side, but the meta back then was becoming endless 3D printed shit for $300. Nerf didn't do themselves any favors either, with all the new ammo types that were dead on arrival. For me it's better now with Dart Zone, and especially X Shot putting out decent quality toys for good prices, although I don't really follow the hobby any more.I guess I grew up a bit too lol, so it's a nostalgia type thing as well, back then modding was easy and fun to get a bit more power out of stock blasters, now it's not really needed and most of the Youtubers had to switch to shilling (or stealing, lol Drac) or just quit (Coop).
>>11361253>>11361687Between the entire Nerf brand just up and dying and most of the conversation turning to 3d print wank, the community as a whole just seemed to give up. The sad part is we were seeing some really nice non-nerf product coming out, but with the biggest dog in the room lying dead in the corner, no one really cared anymore. Hasbro's decisions of using new proprietary ammo types, moving away from silly gimmicks and blaster modularity made blasters dull for kids to use and the cheapening of material combined with directly anti-modder practices sent clear a message that older fans were not wanted in the fandom. Then there was a big push from other companies to make more "competitive" performance blasters, which while great idea on paper, seemed to do more harm than good. Blasters started getting too expensive to buy on a whim and too powerful to have harmless in-home/office wars. You couldn't just grab a bunch of silly looking revolvers for cheap and have quick shoot outs in your house. Blasters had to have realistic ergonomics and hit triple digit FPS numbers (as well as price tags), so if you weren't at least wearing goggles you were gonna have a bad time. I work a job where I would literally find tons of old discarded Nerf guns and I would just take them home. I built up a huge stockpile of blasters in various states of functionality to the point where I lost count of the actual total number I own. But the past few years, I haven't seen anything. Blasters are either too expensive for kids, so they don't get outgrown, or are specifically designed to be "collectables" more then toys so people hold on to them. But that older collector market was always the minority of dart blaster aficionados as they were most often bought by/for kids. But kids don't play with nerf blasters anymore because nerf don't make blasters kids want to buy. Pic related was the last time I took a collection shot back in 2017
>>11361757>and hit triple digit FPS numbers (as well as price tags)So many of the blasters that fit this category are dirt cheap though. It started with the nexus pro and now there's that x-shot one that's fucking $15
>>11361658looks great
>>11361105You're allowed to talk about whatever you want, dude. Why are you so intimidated by my posts?You can ignore them, because I hope I'm only talking to one delusional dude who thinks Mattel's figures weren't mostly ignored by /toy/ for over a decade, because there's only so much someone can say about their shits on a stick.And that's likely what's goign to happen for the next decade, now that Mattel was allowed to bid for the DC license again, because Mattel is likely going to continue cheaping out and release lazy ass shit that no one will want to talk about, muchless buy.
>>11361725So basically, unless you like collecting trash DC is dead and Power Girl was the last good figure.

i wonder how big these guys will be
>>11361508Eh, I still think they might be able to do Q2, liya was shown off not too long after shion and was already slated to release around that time, so I think she should be good to goBut both of them are their respective company's first offerings, so it's really up in the air. They could end up being not that good in any case.Here's hoping they do though.I hope the furgal offerings really popoff this year with all that was revealed to be on the books last year.Between keyaki, ladotoys, and aoshima's stuff I'm really excited, we haven't really had furry girls figs like this ever before
>>11361733They'll probably not be THAT much bigger than like, Rocksteady and Bebop. So 3-4 inches at the top of their crest I'd imagine.

A thread for scalpers/resellers.What do you SCALP?Where do you SCALP?How much money do you make from SCALPING?Oooohh I'm gonna SCAAAAAAAAALPPPPPP
>>11344815>What do you SCALP?>Where do you SCALP?nothing?I usually just sell things I find at the thrift or at discount stores, which isn't scalping. Scalping is specifically showing up at the release date, buying up stock and then selling it at a profit. You can't do that with 20 year old used figs at good will or 5 year old figs from TJMaxx.
Scalping isn’t a big deal as long as you actually collect toys too. I hate scalpers that don’t even know what they’re doing.
you're doing this thread again?
>>11358879My favorite part of scalping is when I buy something remorsefully, and it ends up high in aftermarket
>>11344815Sometimes I order a bunch of nendos from hlj and flip them on eBay for triple profit, but then I use that money to buy figures I actually want. I do love seeing Pokemon scalpers scuffling out in the wild and on video, those are my favourites.
Hello I’m moving from Taiwan soon to the US for work for at least 1-2 years or more. Anyone have good recommendations on mailbox services in the US. I keep getting pushed back on my date due to new VISA regulations in the meanwhile I’ve had to pack up my flat and put all my figure collection in a settled storage shed. I’d like to direct some future purchases to the USA but I’m not sure of my address for at a few weeks before I leave. I know I’ll be in the state of Arizona. I’m looking for something where I can send things to the place now with an address. They can hold for maybe at least a month or 2. Then ship to me when I get to my new flat. I’ve been looking at a few places online but some places the website looks like a scam site. Also I’d like if possible I have a few colleagues coming to but I know the one is going to New York. It looks like there’s some where we can all ship stuff there and them they can ship to my colleagues in other states. That would be really nice. So thank you in advance with any recommendations on ones that are good and maybe cheaper to use Also look at this 5K Toys place for some getting figures when I’m there. Might help getting them from US bassed sellers. They sound very good.
>>11359826>Anyone have good recommendations on mailbox services in the USThe ONLY mailbox service in the USA is USPS (united states postal service). once you have your new home address you can ship your belonging to your new home.
